Pedro Rodriguez is one of the veterans in the current Chelsea squad, having been with the Premier League side since signing from Barcelona in 2015. Despite having won many trophies at both club and international level and being one of the most decorated players of his generation, Pedro still has a lot of detractors, with many criticizing his decision making and inaccuracy in the final third.

However, beyond this, the 32-year-old is a consummate professional who can always be counted on to give his best at all times. Against Liverpool, Pedro started from the onset, playing through the 120 minutes, and was arguably Chelsea's best attacker on the night.

Though he still showed signs of the hassled play for which he receives constant flak, the Spanish international also showed great determination to the Chelsea cause on the night, and was full of running for the entirety of the match.

He fashioned a number of chances for himself and his teammates, while he also showed a willingness to track back and help out with defending.
